Greetings epic blood brothers and sisters, do you want to save a life and get free food in the process?  Come to the seminar room Thursday at lunch and sign up for the Halifax West Blood Drive.  Also, if you’re 17 years or older, you can test your blood type.

A reminder that there is a yearbook meeting tomorrow at lunch, in the social studies computer lab.  Therefore, the Café Français this week will now be on Thursday at lunch, still in room C149.  Go and immerse yourself, in French, at lunch and get some extra help while you're at it, maybe some snacks too!  Coming soon the Café Français will expand to a Language Café where all students are still welcome to come for extra help in any additional languages.  Details coming soon.

Congratulations to Kaden Keith of our boys’ hockey team for being nominated as athlete of the month for the month of November! Kaden has been an outstanding player so far, and without his efforts in the net, the team would not be doing as well.  Way to go Kaden, keep up the great work!
